Remember, :conditions can take a hash, which means you can do what you
want if you get your head out of ActiveRecord for a minute and into
Ruby hash-munging. :) So for example:
def find_stories(by_user = false, by_title = false)
conditions = {}
conditions[:user] = 'some criteria' if by_user
conditions[:title] = 'more criteria' if by_title
Story.find(:all, :conditions => conditions.merge(:any =>
'other', :options => 'you want')
end
Does that help?
